As much I like to try PSVR2, 599€, beeing it wired and having no BC to PSVR1 games is a dealbreaker for me

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Ouch!

Spoiler

Still will be mine day one

Edit:
Same price as PSVR 1.
I can deal with that.

 

[tmlDan]

I knew it would be around this price, I think its fine and day 1 for me.

Still a hefty amount to drop on VR.

 

[Insane Metal]

Holy crap lol. That's more than people were expecting, right?

 

[Gaiff]

At that price VR will remain niche but I'm looking forward to see what they can do with better tech.

 

[onesvenus]

Good luck to have someone other than fanboys pay that price for those games

Resident Evil, Half Life Alyx and Firewall are all worth the price, hopefully it works better than expected.

Alyx hasn't been announced

 

[Pelta88]

Day 1.

 

[Kuranghi]

Merged!

 

[STARSBarry]

Oh dear... they missed the mark with that, more than the console it requires is a tough sell for any addon.

 

[Foilz]

If psvr2 was capable of streaming wireless like my quest 2 I'd get it say 1 but I'm not Vring with a wire.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

If you are asking that price better have mindblowing AAA games.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Playstation VR will carry the load for virtual reality while meta, ocuslus are reaching out for board meetings and avatars.

 

[DenchDeckard]

yeah, That Sony showcase was probably cancelled right??

I'm so in, just not on launch day. I got my PSVR on deep discount after launch and I'll do the same here.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

£50 more than a PS5 itself

Playstation VR will carry the load for virtual reality while meta, ocuslus are reaching out for board meetings and avatars.

maybe for a while until Apple releases their headset next year. Think what you want about Apple but you know that shit is gonna sell like crazy.

also Valve are working on a new headset.

 

[kyliethicc]

I remember people telling me it would be $399 lol

 

[JangoRain]

I was planning on a day 1 purchase after experiencing a quest 2 for the first time last year, but at that price it feels like it would be an irresponsible buy for me right now for how much use it would get. Maybe in a few years once the catalog is stacked.

 

[fran.fernandez]

Day one

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I remember people telling me it would be $399 lol

wishful thinking.

i was thinking $600.

 

[Midn1ght]

Still though... 600 big one in EU.

 

[adamsapple]

Oof that's a steep ask. Godspeed to all my VR peeps.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Surely, its DOA at that price?

Deffo picking up further down the line. If I can get it sub £300 pounds in the future when more games are out I am in like FLINN bbe!

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

£470 for a PS5 and £530 for a headset. it's an even £1,000!

yeah good luck with that Sony...

 

[kruis]

Why would you ever want to spend 600 euro to play a bunch of rubbish VR games? The more announcement trailers I watch, the more depressed I become if this is the future of gaming.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Horizon bundle + charging station = one hell of an expensive day for me. Getting it!

 

[SJRB]

600 euros

 

[ArtHands]

Ayeeee

Too cheap!!

 

[dave_d]

I'd probably be day one but with bots who even knows if I'll be able to preorder one.

 

[DeepEnigma]

People were saying it was DOA if over $600... now it's DOA at less than $600. That $500-$600 and no more was the sweet spot for the tech.

 

[DenchDeckard]

You cant announce £530 and then have trailers that look like that....no offence to the devs but holy shit!

Its basically VR games from 5 years ago.....

 

[kingwingin]

Day one!, missed out on psvr1

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I'd probably be day one but with bots who even knows if I'll be able to preorder one.

you say that like it's a bad thing.

wait for more games and a price drop

 

[Ezekiel_]

If they start adding VR games in PS+, I'm in

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Day one!, missed out on psvr1

you wont be able to play PSVR1 games on it though.

 

[STARSBarry]

Don't forget the enviable 3 game VR bundle with the new improved V2 device with all the headache inducing kinks worked out at a lower price than they are asking for now in 2 years time.

 

[Fermbiz]

The only way I'd pick this device up if its workable on PC, just like the Quest 2.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

It works better with PS5 Pro!

£620 is my guess on how much that'll cost.

 

[Kuranghi]

I've never had a VR but I'd like the PSVR2 to be my first VR headset, once there is compelling software that I'm interested in I'll pick it up.

$549 seems slightly more expensive. It feels like they wanted to go for $499 but couldn't do it, kinda like the PS5 increase.

This + that I'm not bothering to get a 40-series GPU at the stupid UK prices means the price is easier to swallow. I will wait to see how the launch stuff reviews and make sure HL: Alyx & Rez Infinite (more the former than the latter, I just love Rez so much) are coming out for it before diving in.

Surely, its DOA at that price?

Deffo picking up further down the line. If I can get it sub £300 pounds in the future when more games are out I am in like FLINN bbe!

Its higher than I was expecting but who knows, its a stupid priced time we live in. In the UK at least, people are trying to saving money due to energy prices but buying something you can do in the house that gives you hundreds of hours of entertainment for six (6) hundo is actually way cheaper than taking the family out/going out on the lash with friends four (4) times over a month.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Those trailers aren't selling me on it if I'm honest. Firewall Ultra and Horizon are the only two titles I'm currently interested in and I don't think I can justify £529 for those two games.

I think I may hold out until a few more proper games are announced before picking one of these up.

 

[Midn1ght]

It's not only the price, it's the lack of killer apps as well in my opinion. I know Horizon is coming and Alyx might get ported but what about later? Are we really getting major devs and publishers investing huge stack of money to release big AAA games for VR? I'm not sure.
I wish them well tho, I'd love to see VR properly take off but 600 + 550 is not an easy sale for the larger mass.

 

[RoadHazard]

€50 extra for Horizon seems steep, doesn't really seem like a full game as such. I guess it's a bit cheaper than regular PS5 games, but still. I thought maybe that game would be the tech demonstration pack-in like Astro was for PS5.

They're not "backwards compatible" as such but devs can/will release patches/updated versions of games you own.

Like, there's absolutely no chance Beat Saber isn't on PSVR2.

I would say there's a greater than zero chance. Beat Saber is owned by Meta, who want you to buy a Quest, not PSVR.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Just get another job if you can't afford it.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

This thing is DOA. If it was its own console, that would be one thing, but it's $550, and you need a ps5 to use it.

As someone who had a peeking interest in VR, this is a nope from me.

Sony is crazy with their price points lately.

 

[Little Chicken]

Yes, probably best to wait for a price drop and a better library of games.

 

[skit_data]

€600 is as bit steep when there's barely any launch games that interest me.

I bet it's gonna be at least 7000 SEK here in Sweden as well.

 

[onnextflix5]

Wow that's fucking expensive, expected a lot more tech for that price. Ohh well was allways gona fail, especially at this price

 

[rob305]

I didnt want to go back to using a wired version after owning the quest 2. At 549 theyre making my decision easy

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

for some reason i dont think this will be a successful product for Sony.

Microsoft might have been right by not jumping in on VR for Xbox. At least with Valve it makes sense because if you're spending £1000-4000 on a PC then a £920 accessory doesn't seem so crazy. especially with recent GPU prices!

 

[scraz]

I'm waiting for feed back on the sweat factor. I'm 6'4 230 and i cant use my Index for more then 40 mins without sweating like crazy unless i have a fan blowing on me full blast.

 

[SilentUser]

Day one for sure! Will try to grab the Horizon bundle

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I'm waiting for feed back on the sweat factor. I'm 6'4 230 and i cant use my Index for more then 40 mins without sweating like crazy unless i have a fan blowing on me full blast.

that's the first i've saw someone complain about sweat problems using a headset....

i think that's a problem with you.
